    I may have forgotten to mention that my boyfriend says he thinks my attending family functions with his ex-wife present would be “awkward” irrespective of where they are held, at least until she finds and brings a significant other of her own.

    What do you think of his view of my involvement with his family as awkward? Should this perspective of his be of concern to me (it is) and, if so, how should I react? I avoided reacting at the time he made the comment. If I should react, what should I do? Thanks again.

    As I mentioned before, my boyfriend’s grown daughters have told him that they want nothing to do with anyone he ever dates. Also, they will only see him at Christmas while they are visiting with their mother at the mother’s house. Now my boyfriend has given me additional information – that the ex-wife forbids him to bring any girlfriend of his over to her house at any time – such as Christmas when he sees his grown daughters. I was thinking it was all just the daughters. It never occurred to me that the ex-wife has the attitude issue too!

    What do you think of this? I can’t understand their attitudes since the ex-wife left him. Do you think it is because he was unfaithful during their marriage? He hasn’t told me that he was – he said it was because he worked too much.

    More importantly, what should I do or not do? We are not living together, but he has mentioned moving in together several times. How can I invest more of myself if he is not going to make me a part of his entire life? I haven’t made much of an issue of it heretofore, but we’ve been through two holiday seasons together now. Maybe he thinks we could we could just spend those few hours apart at Christmas and Thanksgiving indefinitely. In the long run, though, I don’t think that would be treating me very well, do you? Thanks
